Patent EP-2080418-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SEKULOVSKI DRAGAN
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2007-10-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a temporal variation of light emitted by an illumination system. The light emitted by the illumination system varies from light having a start color point (14) to light having a target color point (12). The start and target color point are defined in a first color space (XYZ, RGBvid, RGBill), which is perceptually non-uniform. The method according to the invention converts the start and target color point from the first color space to a second color space (Lab, Lch), which is more uniform to the human visual system than the first color space. The method further comprises a step of generating an intermediate color point (34, I1, I2) located on a transition-path (p, p′) within the second color space, an intermediate distance (d) between the start color point in the second color space and the intermediate color point in the second color space not being larger than a threshold distance (26). The method further comprises converting the intermediate color point from the second color space back to the first color space, and subsequently altering the light emitted by the illumination system (65) from the start color point to the intermediate color point. The invention further relates to an illumination system and a display device.

Title: Système et procédé pour fournir à des joueurs une partie supplémentaire d'un jeu de loterie
Inventor: MARTINECK JEFFREY D
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: L'invention propose un système et un procédé permettant de fournir un dessin de partie supplémentaire ou de fin de partie à des joueurs d'un jeu de loterie. Dans un mode de réalisation, des codes de validation uniques imprimés sur des tickets de loterie peuvent être cryptés au moyen d'un algorithme, et utilisés pour enregistrer lesdits codes cryptés. Un joueur participe à la loterie, et soumet ensuite le code de validation du ticket à un fournisseur de billet de loterie. Le fournisseur de billet de loterie applique l'algorithme au code de validation soumis, ce qui crée un autre code de cryptage qui peut être comparé aux codes cryptés enregistrés. En cas de correspondance, le joueur entre dans un dessin de seconde chance ou de fin de partie. Dès que la partie est commencée, le joueur n'a plus besoin du ticket pour une validation ultérieure.

Abstract: The invention further reduces a size and cost of a reactor for generating water from oxygen and hydrogen, provides high-purity water in an amount necessary for practical use safely, stably and continuously, and allows a platinum-coated catalyst layer formed on an inner wall of a reactor body to maintain high catalytic activity over a long period of time. Specifically, the reactor comprises a body made of a heat-resistant material and having an inlet and an outlet for water/moisture gas, has a gas-diffusing member provided in an internal space of the body, and has a platinum coating on an internal wall surface of the body. Hydrogen and oxygen fed from the inlet is diffused by the gas-diffusing member and then comes into contact with the platinum coating to enhance reactivity, thereby producing water from hydrogen and oxygen. A temperature of the reactor for generating moisture, wherein hydrogen is reacted with oxygen at a high temperature to generate moisture, is held to be below an ignition temperature of hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas so that hydrogen is reacted with oxygen while preventing explosive combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. The platinum-coated catalyst layer on the internal wall of the reactor body is formed by treating the surface of the internal wall of the body, cleaning the treated surface, forming a barrier coating of a nonmetallic material of an oxide or nitride on the wall surface, and forming the platinum coating on the barrier coating.
